Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top, Blueberry Burst

Full Description

Crafted For Legendary Tone

The Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top is built with a solid mahogany body and an AA figured maple top, a combination that has defined rock and blues for decades. The mahogany body ensures deep, resonant lows and a warm midrange, while the figured maple top enhances clarity and sustain. This classic tonewood pairing produces the unmistakable Les Paul sound—rich, powerful, and full of character. Plug into a cranked tube amp for thick, saturated overdrive or roll back the gain for smooth, articulate cleans. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the wood to breathe, adding to the natural resonance and ensuring the tone only gets better with age.

Burstbucker Pickups With Vintage Clarity

Loaded with a Burstbucker 1 in the neck and a Burstbucker 2 in the bridge, this Les Paul delivers iconic PAF-inspired tones with warmth and definition. Alnico 2 magnets provide a smooth attack and rich harmonic complexity, capturing the essence of vintage humbuckers from the 1950s. The Burstbucker 1 offers a warm, rounded neck tone ideal for soulful blues and jazz-inspired runs, while the Burstbucker 2 in the bridge delivers crisp, punchy highs and searing lead tones. Hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, the electronics ensure smooth volume and tone control, allowing for nuanced expression with every note. This is the sound that shaped generations of music, reborn for modern players.

Authentic 50s Feel And Playability

The rounded 50s Vintage neck profile provides the perfect balance of comfort and substance, offering a substantial grip that feels solid in the hand. Made from a single piece of mahogany, the neck enhances sustain while maintaining a smooth playing experience. The Indian rosewood fingerboard features 22 medium jumbo frets, ensuring effortless bends and comfortable chording. With a 12-inch fingerboard radius, the playability is perfect for both rhythm and lead work, delivering that unmistakable Les Paul feel. Dig into blues licks, lay down thick power chords, or explore intricate lead runs with a neck designed for ultimate playability.

Classic Hardware For Rock-Solid Stability

Every detail of the Les Paul Standard 50s Figured Top is designed for stability and performance. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece work together to provide precise intonation and sustain, keeping every note ringing clear and true. Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons offer smooth tuning action and period-correct aesthetics, ensuring both reliability and style. The gold Top Hat control knobs with dial pointers add to the vintage feel, while the cream pickguard, switch tip, and binding complete the timeless look. Built to Gibson’s highest standards, this Les Paul is ready to perform night after night.
